Free trial

Does such a thing exist? Most MMORPG's use this as an effective marketing tool, and after I did some googling, I simply couldn't find one. I have a gift card for Gamestop which is burning a hole in my pocket.

Re: Free trial

I have 5 guest passes I need to hand out. I just don't think they are active as of yet. Let me check.

Re: Free trial

They are going to be opening up the buddy passes in the next week.

Quote:
I know many of you have also asked about your buddy keys, and we have now come to a level where we are able to activate them. During the next week you will therefore be able to use your buddy keys, inviting friends to the game with you.

Here is the full thread.

I wouldn't mind trying out the game. If anyone has another spare, feel free to send me one!

Re: Free trial

Thanks everyone for the offer, I better go with Sloppy Joe because I did ask him (although I forgot about it.) I'm getting pretty excited, I was thinking about buying the game today although I'm hesitant because I still have an x800.

Re: Free trial

Has anyone heard if they are going to charge people with trial passes for downloading the client like they did with early access?

Re: Free trial

That would certainly negate the meaning of trial pass.

EDIT: I just went ahead and bought it.

Re: Free trial

I am dying to try this game!!! But like most people, I don't want to spend the $60.00 if my system (which does meet the minimums) won't run it well enough. If they do infact give out buddy passes, I would be so appreciative to get one. =) To those of you who play now, is it everything I think it's gonna be??

Yeah - they did it during the EA though. I think it was 4 or 5 bucks.. for like 3 days of early access.. the buddy pass gets you 7 days free like the EA .. but not the client.. Maybe they've gotten over that though.

Well ya gotta try it.. I fully recommend that. I use a dual core x64 'Pentium', 4GB, and 8800GTX with 768MB on cable and it works GREAT.. but I also have it set up at work ( ). At work I use a quad core x64 XEON, 8GB, and a $1600 FireGL video card on T1 and it runs like crap.

Since I don't know what you expect, I probably can't tell you if it is everything you think it is going to be.

I have 3 passes left.. I'll auction them off..
